For the first time in over 100 years, a U.S. lawmaker has been removed from office on grounds of insurrection.
Judge Mathew wrote that Griffin’s actions amounted to insurrection in part because “by joining the mob and trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds, Mr. Griffin contributed to delaying Congress’s election-certification proceedings. The constitutionally-mandated proceedings could not resume until all members of the mob, including Mr. Griffin, were removed from the restricted area.
